Part of The Kate O'Brien Papers

Photocopy of a letter from Kate O’Brien, 8 Mespil Flats, Sussex Road, Dublin, to The Collector of Taxes, London 46 Collection, 120 Finchley Road, London N.W.3, regarding income tax for tax year 1962 to 1963, noting ‘…as I have written to your colleagues repeatedly, I am not resident in the British Isles. It is my intention to live there, but since I sold my house in Ireland three and a half years ago I have been in very bad circumstances; have been living as the guest of friends and relatives in Ireland or in Spain, am unable to pay rent anywhere, and earn only pittances. Until my circumstances improve I am unable to take up residence in England, as I cannot afford to rent even a bed-sitting room. I use the address, 24a Steele’s Road N.W.3 – which is the flat of a friend – for correspondence… As soon as I am able to take up residence in or near London I shall naturally make income tax returns like everyone else.’
